Let's see...

I think if you take "marriott" "courtyard" "fairfield" and "westin" and add every combination of "and suites" "city" "express" and "body hiding location" you can get to 47.

They're all different! Sometimes there's breakfast included. Sometimes not. Sometimes parking is included, sometimes not. Sometimes it's all suites. Sometimes it's some suites. Until recently, sometimes it was wi-fi for free and sometimes for $14. Sometimes it's in the same building as a hotel with a very similar sounding name. Sometimes it's "classic." Sometimes it's "contemporary." Sometimes it's "modern." Sometimes there's a restaurant. Sometimes there's nothing at all. Sometimes there's a little shop that sells frozen dinners for the poor schmucks who are on that 9 month software implementation at State Farm. Sometimes there's alcohol in that shop. Sometimes, like last night at the Hampton Inn (and Suites) in Dallas, they have a little shop, but it doesn't sell beer, and they tell you to go next door to the AC Hotel (by Marriott) because they have a little shop (and a bar!) and in the little shop they sell beer that you can take back to the other hotel.

Kinda seems like there should be more than 47?

Seems more impressive to not-read the hardcopy.

Is it possible to have 47 hotel brands that are different?

I'm offended for a wedding having no centerpieces.

They served tomato sauce while she was in a wedding dress?????

And she's smiling with that sauce stain?!? And from the looks of the tableware, the spaghetti is the entrée?!? No parm?! Worst wedding ever.

What kind of a freak would think about where to dump "A" body?

That actually makes sense. You're not a sociopath, you're a problem solver.
